I have recently setup a site with dedicated server tutorial, securing server tutorials, etc. Which category should this be placed in?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

This is a service we provide to everyone, through our normal submittal process. Find the category that you think most closely fits your site, and submit there. The editors are used to people not finding the absolute best category (most don't), and simply move the site to the right place.

It is much more efficient that way than through the forums, so we don't offer the service in the forums.

Really, then, you should submit only the top-level domain.

We view the submission of additional pages as a form of directory spam and seriously frown upon it, and the people who submit such pages (what we call deep links).

I am in no way intending on spamming, I do remember submitting a site to DMOZ, but I am not even sure of when or where, etc. I have NOT listed it yet, and waiting for a reply on the status check i submitted. I also had no idea you could not submit subpages, thanks for letting me know. I have just seen this serveral times with sites listed in DMOZ and suspected it was allowed. This section of the site is not all to visible from the main part of the website. It is a seperate resource currently.

Understandable confusion: but read our submittal policies. Editors are allowed some freedom to add subpages in exceptional cases, but our policy asks people to submit sites just once.

As for: "This section of the site is not all to visible from the main part of the website."

Look at this from our standpoint. It's like saying, "I created these pages, but I don't want to ruin my reputation by linking to them from my other pages. Here -- YOU do it!"

If that section of the site is not worth giving prominent visibility from your own website, that's plenty good enough proof that it's not worth linking from ours.

And ... if it is linked from your website, it doesn't need to be linked from ours.

Think of it this way: If that section is worth surfing, and it is linked from your website, it makes your website bigger and more worth listing. It might even be what makes the difference in listing your website at all.
